Twenty-seven years after Gandhi, Sir Ben Kingsley is returning to India but this time as a star of the Bollywood film, “Teen Patti,” currently screening at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

In “Teen Patti” Kingsley stars alongside Amitabh Bachchan, and plays Perci Trachtenberg, regarded as the world’s greatest living mathematician, who befriends Bachchan, a shy fellow academic.

Making a Bollywood film has reportedly been on Sir Ben’s mind since he starred as Mahatma Gandhi in Sir Richard Attenborough’s classic 1982 film, which was received  eight Oscars including best picture and best actor for Kingsley.
